Two trivia questions in one:

Whirlaway was the TC winner in the year 1941. 
 
Who was the horse born the year 1941 but missed being a TC winner by coming in second in the Belmont after winning the KD and Preakness? 

Who was the horse that denied him being a TC winner? 

[BaroqueAgain1]

Derby & Preakness winner Pensive was beaten by Bounding Home in the 1044 Belmont.

[Blue Jeans]

Cheers!  You got both correct.

We'll forgive the typo .... year was 1944.   

Bounding Home was the TC's first spoiler.  Pensive was the first to lose a TC by coming in second in the Belmont after winning the first two legs of the TC races.

Who was Alydar named after?

Lucille Markey liked to address Prince Aly Khan as "Aly Darling".  So she named a colt, Alydar, after him.  Prince Aly Khan was the father of the current Aga Khan.  I remember reading that in "A Wild Ride".


Name the mare who produced 3 different stallions who each sired a Breeders Cup winner.

These two horses were finished first and second in two different orders in the King George at Ascot and the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown, they were ridden by two great European champion jockeys, one of the horses won the Hong Kong Cup before their rivalry of these two prestigious races from Europe, and the Breeders' Cup Turf at Belmont Park, the same year he finished second in the King George, but defeated his rival in the Irish Champion Stakes, what are the names of these two horses in a rivalry in the King George and the Irish Champion Stakes?

That's a hard one, at least for me.  My guess would be Terlingua.
